2012 End of the World

There are movies, documentaries, books and articles predicting the end of the world this year. While these originate from the fact that the Mayan calendar goes no further than the 21 December 2012, the conclusion that this is the end is not definitive. There are various schools of thought that have been shared.

This is the time for cleansing where the world as we know it will be gone. But there will be a whole new world where the spiritually enlightened will be left to live in a peaceful, harmonious place, communicating by telepathy. Or like with many other dooms day predictions nothing is going to happen and it's all noise.

What are your thoughts on the various predictions? Do they change when you learn new things, or read about people dragging dogs behind cars and torturing one another? A world gone mad. Maybe the Wolfs in Clive Cussler's Atlantis Found had a good plan in building gigantic ships to house the chosen until the cataclysm had passed. Then this "perfect" nation would replace the decimated population. All our problems solved! Of course someone has to decide who belongs to this "perfect" nation.

How about a cleansing where the population explosion is reversed  - The Universe decides - along with the destruction of all industry and housing? Level the playing fields and take us back to caveman times. Hunting and cultivating food, but no one has a gun or car or any advantage over others. No starvation for anyone and we get a chance to build a great new eco-friendly world where everyone is taken care of. We have the knowledge learned in this world to build it better. Don't we? If you catch extra food, use it to barter for something you don't have. We all own the land. Insert your utopia features here. Does this sound like an 'apocalypse' you might want to happen?

The Day is less than 6 months away. Have you made any arrangements for the day? Maybe booked your December holiday in the Drakensberg mountains in South Africa, the new highest altitude in the world according to the 2012 movie? Making sure you're in the air traveling across date lines to actually miss the day entirely? Nothing?

Let me know your thoughts and your plans. I have no plans, other than to live today. If I sit around and wait and nothing happens, many opportunities would have passed me by and I would have wasted a whole chunk of my life. Even an apocalypse won't give time back to me. And if it does happen, it might be the last time the sun sets for me, because there is no guarantee that I'll make it to the new world.


Enjoy your day.
